JUNE 26-29, 2025
The 50th Idaho Boat Regatta is an annual celebration of speed and skill, held on the scenic Snake River in Burley, Idaho. This exciting boat race takes place on the last full weekend in June—typically between the 24th and 27th of the month—with the 2025 regatta scheduled for June 26-29. The event has earned a reputation as one of the premier flat bottom boat races in the Northwest, drawing competitors and spectators from across the United States.
At the heart of the 50th Idaho Boat Regatta are some of the fastest Circle Sprint Boats on the water. The event generally features ten distinct classes of boats, ensuring a dynamic and diverse competition. These classes include K Racing Runabouts, Un-blown Flats, Cracker Boxes, Sportsman Extreme, Competition Jet, Grand National Endurance, GPS 105, 2.5 Liter Hydroplanes, 1 Liter Hydroplanes, and A-Stock/Junior Hydroplanes. Each category provides its own unique challenges and excitement, giving racers the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and compete for top honors.
The Course
The race course itself is an exhilarating 1.25-mile circuit set up on the beautiful Snake River. Racers navigate around a buoyed course that features an island at its center—a design element that adds an extra layer of suspense. As boats pass behind the island, spectators are left wondering what thrilling maneuvers might occur on the hidden back straightaway. This mystery often leads to dramatic moments, as a boat may surge from behind the island to take the lead.
Location
Hosted at the picturesque Rivers Edge Golf Course Marina/Park, the regatta offers ample space for spectators to enjoy the action from a prime vantage point along the front straightaway. Fans will also appreciate the variety of food and merchandise vendors available at the event. In addition to purchasing commemorative event T-shirts, attendees can support their favorite teams by picking up driver- or boat-specific apparel.
